Having said never again to running the big 26 miles, on 29 May this year I will be travelling north of Hadrian's Wall for the first time (!) to run the Edinburgh Marathon.

Training kicked off in January with a month of ParkRuns, but it's now time to clock the serious miles on Strava.... Any support for this absolutely wonderful charity will really, really help me plod around Richmond Park a few times over the next few months and of course Edinburgh in May.
